The potential series stars The Walking Dead‘s Corey Hawkins as Eric Carter, a former Army Ranger who encounters a troubled return to the U.S. He eventually turns to the CTU for help in saving his life and stopping what could potentially be one of the largest-scale terror attacks on American soil.

Thomas will appear in the drama as Isaac Carter, Eric’s older brother who remains angry about their bitter past. (Eric is now married to Isaac’s former girlfriend, which goes against every letter of the bro code.)

The announcement that Jimmy Smits is one of the stars almost had me interested, but am back to being bored with the whole idea. We don’t need a spin-off.. we need 24, with Jack and Chloe and a bit of Yvonne Stahovsky would be great too.

This whole 24 thing reminds me of the recent movie with Jeremy Renner that was titled “The Bourne Legacy.” As much as I like Renner, he isn’t Bourne. Matt Damon is. His character wasn’t even supposed to be Jason Bourne. I think it was Alex-something…??
And yet the producers put the name Bourne in the title…and it was a flop.
That’s what I see happening with this 24 continuation.
